Scott Baber glad to hear your enjoying the instruction, appreciate the feedback. I’m enjoying the new blade, was def an adjustment at first though. The swing weight for a relatively light racquet is impressive. Been battling some arm issues so may tweak things a bit. Hope you’re enjoying the Blade as well!
david tran hi David, thanks for the question. The height of the ball is the result of contact and the swing path. For more height the more you’ll want to swing under the ball, striking the ball 6-12. Conversely if you want to hit the ball lower you will focus on going through the ball. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I don’t have any problem with hitting the net from the baseline. Most of my errors come hitting long. It’s when the ball is short and low and I have to put a lot of upswing on my racket that i can hit the net. And I think some pros, particularly WTA, hit flatter and are more likely to hit the net. But unless an ATP is stressed, they don’t hit the net.

Love Scott's juggling
Didn’t know Scott was such a good juggler. 🤣
Elijah S. Is he though? 😉 -Nate
Can the next video be on how to juggle with the racquet? 🤣 I think that is a skill I really need to work on!
Scott stole the show again
Did Ian Westerman teach you guys juggling? He's pretty good at it too.
I do need to aim deeper and trust my topspin will keep the ball in, I end up with shorter balls as a result. This should be a good exercise.
Let us know how it goes!
Alright, where's Scott's own channel for all of his circus shenanigans and other creative works? :-D
VFR Explorer “creative works” is one way of referring to Scott’s antics 😉. -Nate
Another awesome video + bonus entertainment! :-)
Hey Nate, love your videos. Your instruction is right on the money. An important question though, how do you like your racket? (I have one also).

Haha what a clown! Scott and Nate are great! Good stuff
A 47 thank ya sir! Glad you enjoyed the vid.
How do I control the height of the ball?

If you don't have a problem with hitting the net then you clearly haven't hit enough balls.
are you guys based in the bay area?
